Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
On April 22nd, people around the world celebrate something they all have in common: the earth. Earth Day is a celebration that began in America in 1970. On that day, a US politician called on the country’s people to protest against environmental pollution. Twenty million people took to the streets for a peaceful demonstration. Earth Day is now celebrated by over a billion people around the world.
What do people do on this day? At first, people simply listened to speeches. These days, there are parades and information fairs, where you can learn about environmental problems and solutions. Many schools have students make posters (海报). These posters encourage green practices, like recycling and taking public transportation. Some people choose to plant trees or pick up trash in parks and natural areas. Environmental organizations use Earth Day to inform the public of the damage people do to the earth. Once more people know the problems, we can take more steps to solve them.
To do your part in protecting life on earth, follow three simple rules: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Reduce the amount of energy you use and the waste you produce. Try to reuse what you buy. If you can’t reuse something, don’t throw it away. Recycle it! It will take little time to do it, but the earth will thank you.
April 22nd is a great day to start your earth-friendly habits. Go outside, hug a tree, and think about ways to make every day Earth Day.

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
If you look around, there are probably many coffeehouses (咖啡馆) near you. Coffee is a very big business. According to the International Coffee Organization, the world drinks about $70 billion in coffee each year.
Although coffee is one of the world’s most popular drinks, many people believe it isn’t healthy. It has been blamed for high heart rates, high blood pressure, and stomach problems. Coffee can make you feel more stressed and it can lead to sleep problems. Don’t even think about drinking coffee before you go to bed, or you’ll be up all night!
One common belief is that some women who drink coffee may have a hard time getting pregnant (怀孕). Others believe coffee can cause low birth weight if pregnant women drink it.
Medical research, however, has started suggesting that coffee might actually be good for us. It can give us energy, and it is thought to be helpful for headaches. It can protect our bodies against harmful substances in things like smoke and pollution. Overall, research shows that coffee is far more healthful than harmful.
While coffee may have health benefits, it is also full of caffeine which can make us feel excited. However, the problems can be controlled by limiting the amount of coffee we drink. There is no evidence that coffee is more truly harmful, and every day there is more evidence to show that it is good for us.

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”
He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.
But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
“Oh. What?”
“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn’t dare (敢)stay for dinner!”

A
problem
B
item
C
question
D
task
正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是名词的辨析。problem：难题（通常指难以解决的事）；item：条款，项目；question：问题，询问（指提出的问题）；task：工作，作业，任务。本句想表达的是：这些人什么时候迁居到美国的？这是个难回答的问题。根据上下文逻辑分析，只有question最符合题意。

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
that
B
which
C
what
D
how
正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是疑问代词的用法。介词 on 后面是它的宾语从句，而从句中缺少主语，四个选项中能够充当主语且符合句意的只有代词 what。that不是疑问代词，可以排除； which意为“哪一个”，而句子中要表达的意思为“什么事物”，不符合句意，亦可排除；how为副词，可以用作状语，但不能作主语，也不能选。本句想表达的是：市场经济正在快速地改变着人们对于所能接受的事物的看法。
25

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
of
B
to
C
with
D
at
正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是固定短语的搭配。be surprised at 为固定短语，因此可以排除选项 of和with。虽然有一个固定用法 be surprised to do sth.，但是本句中空格后面为名词the way，由此排除选项to。be surprised at后面接某人或者某物表示“对……感到很惊奇”。本句想表达的是：当我初次到达日本的时候，我对人们问候别人的方式感到惊讶。
26

D

正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是动词和形容词转换。动词变成形容词后有两种形式：主动和被动。主动形式一般用来表达事物的性质；被动形式一般用来表达人的态度、情绪等特征。本句想表达的是：去巴黎的想法会不会让你感到很兴奋？兴奋是一种情绪，所以选择excited。

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A

B
none
C
either
D
neither
正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是代词的用法。both指“两个都”，none指“没有一个”（通常是指三个或三个以上的范围中），either指“两个中的任意一个”，neither指“两个都不”。本句想表达的是：我邀请了汤姆和安共进晚餐，但是他们一个都没来。根据题意，neither为正确答案。
28

does not dare to
B
dared not
C
dared not to
D
dares not
正确答案：B
学生答案：B
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是dare的用法。dare既可以作情态动词，后接动词原形，也可以作实义动词，后接不定式。选项A、D的时态错误，直接忽略；选项C没有弄清楚dare到底是情态动词还是实义动词。在这里dare作情态动词用，后面接动词原形。本句想表达的是：我给我先生看了新裙子，但没敢告诉他价格。
29
Last year some additional measures __________ to protect the rights and interests of women.
客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
take
B
took
C
are taken
D
were taken
正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是时态和语态。句子里的时间状语是last year，所以需要用一般过去时，句子的主语是some additional measures，与动作take（采取）之间是被动关系，所以需要用被动语态，综合起来看，谓语动词应该使用一般过去时的被动语态。

此题考查的是不定式的用法。该句的主语是the Internet，谓语动词是allow，宾语是rural students，这是在考察allow sb. to do sth.（允许某人做某事；使某人能做某事）的用法。本句想表达的是：网络使农村学生能够了解世界上正在发生的事。

B

C

D

正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：

此题考查的是强调句型。在英语中，我们可以用强调句型强调除谓语以外的任何成分。强调句式的结构为：It is / was + 被强调部分（主语、宾语或状语） + that + 原句的剩余部分。一般说来,被强调部分指人时，用who；指事物时用that，但that也可以指人。本句强调的是时间状语。

正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是对是否倒装进行判断。否定词放在句首应用倒装句式，频度状语如always，often，usually，once in a while等用于句首时也应该采用倒装句式，因为后面的句子是正常语序，故排除never, seldom和always。sometimes放在句首时，不需要用倒装句式。
33

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
is; is
B
are; are
C
are; is
D
is; are
正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是主谓一致。通常情况下，由and或both … and连接两个单数形式的名词（词组）作主语时，谓语动词常用复数形式。当并列主语在意义上指同一人、一物、同一事或同一概念时，谓语动词则常用单数形式。a knife and a fork是两件东西，a knife and fork是一件东西。
34
The question __________ now is where to build the new factory.
客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
discusses
B
be discussed
C
discussing
D
being discussed
正确答案：D
学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是现在分词的用法。由句子结构可知，主语是the question，谓语动词是is，where引导的从句作表语。空白处应当是修饰主语the question的，所以只能选用分词形式，discussing和being discussed的区别在于主动与被动，从句意看，显然“问题”是“被讨论”，所以选用被动形式。本句想表达的是：现在正在讨论的问题是新工厂将建在哪里。
35

老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是虚拟语气。在表示“要求”、“坚持”、“建议”、“命令”之类的动词后面的从句中，谓语动词要用“( should ) + 动词原形”构成虚拟语气。这类动词的主语从句，如It is required that…; It is ordered that…; It is suggested that…等，也要用相同的虚拟语气，例如:It is suggested that we ( should ) study hard.
